Study tours and sister schoolsAll study tours into NSW government schools are centrally booked through DE International. Learn more by visiting www.studytours.nsw.edu.au

If you are contacted directly by an agent, organisation or overseas group (student or adult) wishing to visit your school (unless through your school's sister school relationship), please forward the request to the Study Tours team.

Sister school visits are reciprocal and non-commercial, and do not need to go through DE International. However, if your school is offered payment for hosting a group, contact the Study Tours team. Where the sister-school relationship includes mostly hosting the overseas school, then the visit by the overseas group should also be arranged as a study tour through DE International.

Disney recently released a compilation of the song 'Let it Go' from the movie Frozen, sung in 25 languages. Apart from being a simple but effective promotion for languages, this short clip is also a great motivational learning tool for students, even if the language they are learning is not one of the 25 covered in the song.

Do you use songs with your students? Why did you choose a song? How did your students respond?

As teachers of languages, we all know the importance and relevance of learning a language, but sometimes it can be a little trickier convincing members of our wider school communities. The Languages Open the Door to a Bigger World website provides a range of information and promotional materials that you may find useful in promoting your languages programs.
